I'm pretty sure I'd faint if I touched CQ.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 22, 2008 -> 08:12 PM) i cant believe people actually wanted owens on this team If he could play short, I'd be his biggest fan!

Toby Hall for leadoff.

Nothing like an old-fashioned faceplant into the bullpen.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2008 -> 04:23 PM) Swisher!!! That looked like Timo's hit vs the Angels a few years ago. Exactly. Hilarious.

Brian Anderson and Jim Thome seem to have similar at-bats in the 8th and 9th

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2008 -> 04:19 PM) How about a squeeze? terrible flashbacks

Offensive Competence!

Man, too bad we didnt trade our farm system for Josh Hamilton.

How do we make the offense better right now?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) No, that was when we got a terrible performing player for one of the top pitchers available. Too bad we didnt do the Gio/DLS for Josh Hamilton deal

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2008 -> 07:43 PM) Wow, we deserve that. Worst series I've ever seen the Sox have. Hilarious. Might be the single worst series I've ever seen as well, yet we had 3 good pitching performances from our starters.

QUOTE (Soxpranos @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:01 PM) Why couldn't we get Edgar instead of this pile of crap. Edgar is off to a great start.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:31 PM) Cabrera should be batting 8th or 9th. I wonder if lineup changes would help. Moving some people around . . .

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:58 PM) What an enormous wasted opportunity. WAY too many pissed away chances to put that game away. Well, at least the O's had it the same. A blown call, an error borne of field conditions, a blown save to !Profundo! - both teams have a lot to be pissed about . . . BUT ONLY ONE TEAM HAS THE MANCRUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every time I think about this game, I laugh.

The funniest thing about today's game is that tomorrow we will have 20 quotes about how Uribe carries the team when he is on.

COME ON AJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:57 PM) Let the record show I typed this prior to the swing. I gave you credit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:56 PM) Oh gosh, that was freaking close. Ha! That previous post was prescient.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:40 PM) The problem with having Swisher bunt there was you were putting Cabrera in a situation where he'd have to knock in some runs. He hasn't hit the ball hard enough for a sac fly in a week. The thing is, deep down, I have faith in Swisher. On the other hand, I can easily see OCab hitting .250 this year with no peripherals.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) Yeah, 'cuz when Swisher swung away, he really did well with it. HA!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:38 PM) I still think they should trade him for a huge package if possible. He could net a serious return. I bet the diamondbacks would give us some more of their surplus.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:38 PM) What is the current situation here in the 9th? Tie Game, how many outs and whose on for the O's? none on 2 out

This is why you don't sign him to a 5 year deal. At his rate of regression, he will have Zito velocity in 2010.
